Synopsis

In the small village of Taperoá, in the arid and remote badlands of the State of Paraíba, João Grilo and Chicó, two very poor Northeasterners, walk down the streets announcing "The Passion of the Christ", the greatest movie of the world.

The session is a success, they make a few coins, but the struggle for survival goes on.

João Grilo and Chicó draft many plans to make some money.

New challenges come up, leading to more confusion caused by João Grilo's cleverness, always with Chicó.

But the arrival of the beautiful Rosinha, the daughter of Antonio Moraes, raises the passion in Chicó and the jealousy of corporal Setenta.

The plans of the duo, involving Chicó and Rosinha's marriage and the possession of a pig made of clay filled with money, are interrupted by the arrival of the "cangaceiro", an outlaw, Severino and the death of João Grilo.

All the dead people meet again on the Last Judgment, when they will be all judged at the Soul Court by a black Jesus and by the devil.

Each one's destiny will be decided by the apparition of Our Lady, the Compadecida with an unexpected ending, especially for João Grilo.

One negative opinion I have about the soundtrack of A Dog's Will is that it felt disconnected from the story and the emotions of the characters. The music did not seem to enhance or complement the scenes, making it hard for me to fully immerse myself in the film's narrative.

While the soundtrack of A Dog's Will enhances the overall mood of the film, some tracks feel repetitive and lack diversity. The musical themes, although fitting for the setting, could benefit from more variation to prevent monotony. Additionally, certain scenes could have been more impactful with a stronger musical presence, highlighting key moments and character dynamics in a more memorable way.
